International Journal of Pediatrics 2016;43(2):131-133
With the increase number of children with obesity or diabetes,the incidence of nonalcoholic fatty liver diseases (NAFLD)in children becomes higher and higher,which has a strong impact on the growth of the children.As the pathologic change of NAFLD in children is mainly about the intrahepatic fatty infiltration, the determination of liver fat content plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of fatty liver.At pres-ent,the magnetic resonance technique for quantitative evaluation in hepatic fat fraction includes Dixon method, chemical shift imaging and magnetic resonance spectroscopy and so on.This article reviews the advances of MRI technique for quantification in children with NAFLD.
3.Different doses of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells improve learning and memory ability of dementia rats
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2016;20(50):7524-7529
BACKGROUND:To delay the onset of Alzheimer’s disease, transplantation of viable and wel-differentiated stem cel s is expected to repair neural tissue, which has been an issue of concern. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of different doses of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cel s (hUCMSCs) on learning and memory ability of Alzheimer’s disease rats. METHODS:Fifty Sprague-Dawley rats, 7 months of age, were randomized into normal, model, high-, middle-and low-dose hUCMSCs groups (n=10 per group). Rats in model and UCMSCs groups were used to make Alzheimer’s disease animals through intraperitoneal injection of 150 mg/kg D-galactose for 90 days, and rats in the normal group were given intraperitoneal injection of normal saline for 90 days. In the three hUCMSCs group, passage 3 hUCMSCs at doses of 1×105/0.2 mL/20 g, 5×105/0.2 mL/20 g, and 1×106/0.2 mL/20 g were injected via the tail vein, respectively. Forty-five days after cel transplantation, Morris water maze test was used to detect rat’s learning and memory abilities, and hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe pathological changes of the rat hippocampal CA1 region. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the normal group, the rats in the model group showed significant reduction in the ability of learning and memory. Compared with the model group, the escape latency was significantly shortened in the middle-dose hUCMSCs group (P<0.05), while the number of passing times through the platform was increased significantly (P<0.05). In the model group, the cel s in the hippocampal CA1 region were arranged irregularly with unclear nucleoli and a part of cel s were concentrated and deeply stained. In the middle-dose hUCMSCs group, the cel s in the hippocampal CA1 region were arranged regularly with clear nucleoli, and only individual cel s were stained deeply. These findings indicate that middle-dose hUCMSCs transplantation can improve the learning and memory abilities of Alzheimer’s rats.

This article was aimed to study on clinical application of Shanyao (Dioscorea opposita Thunb.) in each historical period, which can offer some suggestions for clinical doctors to use Shanyao correctly. A total of 668 pieces of formulae containing Shanyao were recorded from the classic format Dictionary of Traditional Chinese Medicine Formula. And then, statistic analysis was made on the emerging frequency according to its effect. The results showed that different effects of Shanyao started to be widely applied from the Song dynasty. It was most widely applied in the Ming and Qing dynasty. Nowadays, the difference between using Shanyao has been gradually decreased. During the whole historical period, clinical functions of Shanyao are mainly reinforcing the spleen and the stomach, tonifying the kidney and strengthening yin. However, clinical functions of reinforcing the kidney and restraining yin, tonifying the lung and promoting fluid are used secondly. It was concluded that the research analyzed clinical application of Shanyao in each historical period, which can offer scientific basis for clinical practice and health maintenance with the using of Shanyao.

Objective To investigate the levels of serum tHcy and Lp(a)and their association with insulin resistance in patients with type 2 diabetes and CHD. Methods T2DM patients were divided into two groups with CHD and without CHD in addition to normal control.The fasting serum levels of tHcy,Lp(a),FPG and FIns were detected, ISI were calculated,and the correlations among them were analyzed. Results The serum levels of tHcy,Lp(a),FIns,FPG of T2DM plus CHD were significantly higher than those of T2DM without CHD and controls(P<0.01~0.05).ISI was significantly lower in T2DM cases with CHD than those of T2DM cases without CHD and controls(P<0.01). ISI was negatively correlated with tHcy and Lp(a)in T2DM plus CHD group(P<0.05)but not correlated with those in T2DM case without CHD group(P>0.05). Conclusions Detections of the serum levels of tHcy and Lp(a)of T2DM play significant roles in knowing patient condition,guiding clinical treatment and earlier preventing and treating vascular complication of diabetes.
9.Modification and decoration of transposase: a review.
Chinese Journal of Biotechnology 2014;30(10):1504-1514
Transposons are the mobile and autonomic replication DNA fragments in genomes. With more understanding of the structure and function of transposons, numerous transposons have been developed to the genetics tool for gene function analysis, gene transformation and gene therapy. The low transpositional activity of the natural transposons is the main obstacles to the utilization of transposons. Recently, with the progress in bioinformatics and protein engineering methods, researchers have reconstructed and optimized natural transposases to create hyperactive transposases that catalyze the transposition with high efficiency. The resulted hyperactive transposons have been applied to gene-modification and gene-tagging. Meanwhile, transposase chimeras were created by protein fusion technology. The insertion characteristic of transposons were artificially regulated which could be utilized in gene therapy.
